CHRISTMAS CARDS ALL YEAR ROUND - AUGUST- SNOWFLAKES

Hi there again - this is my second post today and it's for the CCAYR challenge. I do love being on this DT because it means I start making my Christmas cards in January! It really does help me because I have been known to procrastinate somewhat and I don't have any excuses now! Our theme this month is Snowflakes so we want to see any creation you like as long as you put snowflakes on there!

I used die cuts, die cuts and more die cuts on my card and Winnie didn't have to snitch at all because I bought them ages ago! Honest. Will confess that I haven't used the curved border or the Let it Snow dies before though! You may also notice that I've popped a few little 'diamonds' on the snowflakes - the maestro took the initial pics without the bling but I thought it was missing that 'je ne sais quoi' so out came the gems.Ingredients6" x 6" White card blank - Create and Craft (eons ago!!)Blue and White textured card - American Cardstock 12" x 12"Curved Borders 2 dies - Card Creator - Spellbinder Dies'Let it Snow' die - Sue Wilson Festive Collection at Creative ExpressionsGiovanna Snowflake die - Poppy Stamps DiesBristol Snowflake die - Memory Box DiesSnowflake DIE100F - Impression Obsessions DiesSnowflake DIE024X - Impression Obsessions DiesI made another of my favourite 'flat' cards so it can be posted without costing an arm and a leg!

About Me

I have been crafting since I was very small and started making my dolls clothes when I was 8. I have been married to my hubby for almost 49 years and even made my wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses. I still have the pattern - and the dress. We have had cats all our married life but we lost Ebony in January 2012 and Misty in February 2012. A huge feral cat used to own us but sadly, he died in August 2012. He was such a character for a feral cat and, even though we couldn't touch him, we knew he sort of liked us! We decided we wouldn't take on any more pets but in March 2013 a female cat and her 'husband' started living in the garden and despite being ignored they wouldn't leave so ... in short.... they both adopted us and they have now been neutered and chipped and once again we have fur babies! In 2015 an abandoned long haired puss adopted us and he's gorgeous! I will never know how they knew we would take them in - perhaps it's the large tattoo on our foreheads saying 'MUG'!! We wouldn't swap them for the world though.
